Re: Getting back up after being knocked down
From my experience, moving house is so stressful! @Dk5 Hope it all goes well.

Re: Getting back up after being knocked down
I'm settled now. So reliving. But yes a little stressful @tyme what's your favourite thing about moving? Buying stuff? Talking to removalists. Not having your parents around??

Re: Getting back up after being knocked down
Moving? I hate the process of moving, but I love living alone. I've lived alone for AGES now and thrive on it.
I moved out of home when I was 17. I needed to get away from my family because I needed space for my MH recovery.
At around 23, I moved interstate to get further away from everything i knew.
So yeah... I love living alone, and I never feel lonely. @Dk5 I'm always doing something.
One thing I hate about living alone is having to manage food. I don't cook for one so my sister or friends pack food for me and I just give them money or I buy groceries for them.

Re: Getting back up after being knocked down
That sounds soo soo hard. Are there things that help you with the depression?
I was diagnosed with severe depression in about 2006. After trying all these different meds, I finally got a concotion that works well. Along with psychotherapy, things really improved. I'm still on the meds, but I don't feel I need them... but I'm also afraid of getting off them because things are so good now (and have been so good for a few years now)...
@Dk5
I just want you to know that you don't necessarily have to live with depression forever. I hope you find what works for you.

Re: Getting back up after being knocked down
I'm still unsure which is scary @tyme because I was diagnosed in 2018 and have been unmedicated. But I've found stragies I just don't know how to utilise them in the moment? Can you help?
